Changing to Integrated Only requires two clicks

[joshkulesza]

When using gfxcardstatus on a retina macbook, clicking 'integrated only' does no change the graphics settings and the tick moves back to 'dynamic only' almost instantly. Pressing 'integrated only' a second time does however activate integrated only

I can confirm this. (Retina Macbook.)

[codykrieger]

I can't reproduce this at all. You're not fiddling with the GPU settings in Energy Saver prefs or something are you?

I've noticed the same problem with the release on the MacBook Pro Retina. After one click, the check mark is still next to Dynamic. Upon a second click, it moves to the Integrated. I have not touched any settings in Energy Saver prefs, and it does not exhibit this behavior with the previous release.

[codykrieger]

Maybe there's some bad state left over in your PRAM from the previous version? I'd try resetting your PRAM and see if that fixes the issue.

[joshkulesza]

Unfortunately, resetting PRAM has not helped.

After clicking Integrated Only for the first time and the menu doesn't update, can you run this command in Terminal and paste the output here? system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType

I assume the Notification Center notification doesn't show up until the second time you click as well?

[joshkulesza]

No notification appears on first click

Output after first click on 'integrated only':

[codykrieger]

And you were on Dynamic Switching before you clicked Integrated Only, right?

[codykrieger]

Whoooooaaaaa okay I was just able to reproduce this for the first time. That's nuts. Tons of WindowServer display disconnect/reconnect messages in Console.app every time this happens.

[joshkulesza]

Yep, I was on Dynamic before. Hadn't thought to check the Console.app, I'm also met with about 14 reconnect messages

[Fishrock123]

And... this stil happens.

[codykrieger]

I don’t have any idea what’s causing this off the top of my head. As it stands, I won’t be able to investigate this for a few months (at minimum). I wouldn’t expect this to be fixed anytime soon.

[joshkulesza]

This seems like an interesting issue, I seem to have no such issue with the older gfxCardStatus. So either this is caused by some of the changes from 2.3 or older versions were reporting a successful switchover when in fact it was not. But as far as I can tell it seems to be the former rather than the latter.

[codykrieger]

This started occurring when 10.8.2 was released. Until that point, v2.3
worked fine, and this issue was nonexistent. If I had to guess, older
versions of gfxCardStatus likely don't have this issue because they don't
have the fix for issue #102 in place. If that is indeed the problem, then
that would seem like a logical place to poke at first, and is potentially
worth replacing with something more like the mechanism in #107.
